A German Odyssey chronicles the World War II experiences of Helmut Horner, a common German soldier who, at war's end, found himself a prisoner of war in the United States. From the Netherlands to Belgium, France, and Russia, Horner fought for Germany until he and his comrades were overtaken by American troops near Soissons, France, in August 1944. Only after his capture did Horner realize that his homeland and the Nazi regime were not the same. This transformation is vividly portrayed in the book, along with Horner's struggle to cope with defeat, disillusionment, and the prospects of dismal failure.Horner, Helmut is the author of 'German Odyssey The Journal of a German Prisoner of War' with ISBN 9781555910778 and ISBN 1555910777.
